ISID/ESCMID Joint Fellowship Program 2019

The International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) and the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) established their ISID/ESCMID Joint Fellowship Program 2019 to foster international, peer-to-peer collaboration and the exchange of scientific knowledge and best practice.

About the Award: The program enables young investigators, from low and low-middle income countries outside of the region, to travel to Europe for multidisciplinary clinical and laboratory training.

In the formative stages of their careers, successful applicants are given the opportunity to extend their research experience; learn from experienced infectious disease specialists; and return home with knowledge and processes that will help them improve clinical practice in regions where it most needs strengthening. With this objective in mind, proposals that enhance the transfer of technologies to geographical areas where they are particularly needed are favored.

Value of Award: Fellowships of up to US$7,500 are awarded annually.
